![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thank you for the information Prowlen. I installed the Zoncar lights. They look great. I have not even used them yet. Just tested them in the garage. Your post has me scared shitless. I'm pulling the LED's and putting halogens back in. I'm not chancing anything. If anyone is more gutsy than I am, I bought 8 packages of these. 4 are still in the plastic, never opened. I'd throw in the other 4 for free since they were installed, but never used.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Still VERY little use of the car at this point. Sorry I am not much help. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Follow up, Maybe it's not the LED bulbs? I considered that I had never felt around under the hood before after driving and didn't have anything to compare with the temperatures I was observing. So, after a 5 mile round trip today in 80 degree weather and not using my headlights, I felt around the same areas. Above the headlight housings, cover screw heads, engine side pannels, and the long cross bars above the engine. All very warm to pistol hot! I'm assuming it is all normal engine compartment heat from the Prowler. My temperature gauge reads normal, mid range, even with spirited driving. I'm sure there are a lot of other owners that can speak to the normal engine temperatures and heat dissipation under the hood. I don't want to be the guy crying wolf on these LED bulbs and seeking others experiences and observations with LED headlights and engine compartment heat. Prowl on! |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I took the cat out last night and drove for 3 hours with headlight high and low beam on to test it out with LED replacement. When I got home pop the hood and check the areas and the headlights you stated were hot to touch. Honestly, I don't feel that way, it was warm but I believed it was mostly from the engine heat not from LED. I am happy with the LED at night, much better than stock.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have been driving the 97 a little more and since it gets dark so much earlier, I am using the headlights. So far, so good and they do work GREAT. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I finally put them in the Candy last night. It is raining here so I don't know when I will get to try it out. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I was getting all excited about putting LED'S on my Kat after seeing all the pictures and comments however, I've also seen all the concerns about the heat the LED's generate. I'll have to wait and see some more trial/Error before more ahead. However, they do look sharp on the Kat's. Oh I saw where the website says it comes with a 9005/HB3 so is that a High/Low LED set. Just want to confirm in case I order some after I see the results from everyone... |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The high and low beams are interchangeable. They use the exact same bulb. They make a huge difference. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Did mine before going to WV. Didn't do much night driving there except to the Walmart 10 mile away. Checked each time and can tell you there is not excessive heat. SO much better than the old bulbs that were in there. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A little late to this thread but infrared thermometers are relatively inexpensive and give accurate temp readings of surfaces. Hot engine compartment- lights on and off tests could help with concerns. Got the gun to check the working condition of the cats on my 15yr old pickup but I think it would work well for this also. Best of luck! ![]() |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I just looked up the ZonCar 9005/HB3 LED Bulbs and they draw 42 watts each. A popular replacement bulb is the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra 905 halogen bulb that draw 62 watts. Watts is a measurement of power used. E X I = P. Voltage times current equals watts. There should be no problem with excess heat using the ZonCar LED if I did my math correctly. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Been several years, have not had any problems or heard of any problems. I have bought and sold some Prowlers so I going to update the newer ones. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I couldn't find ZonCar. I ordered some from Amazon. I put them in last night but haven't really driven after dark with them. Huge difference in the garage. Rimthin 60 Watts, 16,000 Lumen, lifespan 50,000 hrs. I don't recall the price, but pretty cheap. |
